Theres a lot of problems with this, and I'm not saying that clans are bad, but this idea needs work. If every clan has a piece of land then the land would be surrounded by lots of little buildings, at least around a certain area. Another is that the feel of the game. I don't want to be walking around and see a random clan base that just sticks out of the landscape being an eyesore. I also don't see how efficient building the base would be, its not not we can just turn on forge and a couple of walls later we have a nice base. Destiny is a persistent online world so forging while others are walking around would be annoying for other players trying to get by. Why not just have a place in the Hub where you can teleport to your clan base. It wouldn't be special as in you can't make it in your own design but you can buy useful things member of your clan can use, such as clan pikes, a supply of ammo and fragmentation grenades, health(If the game does not depend on rechargeable shields), stuff like that. The clan base would be bought from a market like place and stuff you can put in the base along with a "clan leader permit" that you can get be gathering four or more players and talking to a certain AI. All new incoming members can join with an invite from the clan leader or from some of the people that helped found the clan, and maybe those who the leader grants permission to do that. Clans should be social and not meant to grant much special bonus. Maybe in the persistant world if clan members are together they get clan benefits from how many players from the clan are in there. This however should stay in the persistent world and have no effect in the competitive side of Destiny. Just my thoughts since clans should be optional and not mandatory for one to thrive in the world of Destiny.
